Methods
| SCODE SetData(VARIANT* pData, long dwStartAddr) |
|
| |
Transfer data to editing. |
| |
Parameters: |
| |
| |
pData |
- Contains one-dimensional SAFEARRAY of bytes (i.e. pData->vt == VT_ARRAY | VT_UI1) |
| |
dwStartAddr |
- Starting address value in the 'address field'. Irrespective of dwStartAddr, the data is displayed from the array's beginning. |
|
| |
An example of call using MFC:
COleSafeArray arr;
BYTE pbData[200] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
arr.CreateOneDim ( VT_UI1, sizeof(pbData), pbData );
(or arr.CreateOneDim ( VT_UI1, length ) for a non-initialized array)
m_ctlHexEdit.SetData ( arr );
The modified data exists in the same array, but its length may be modified in process of editing. |

Displays the About Box dialog. |
